Having lived here my whole life except for 6 years of college, split between Boston and LA, I think that's (a) dead-on, and (b) true of a lot of crappy sports towns in the south and midwest, where college sports are biggest. Without the professional sports team, the media edge is off.

I don't know why — maybe because college sports aren't *real* sports and athletes aren't held to the same performance standard.

The problem with Miami is, we have a college-level media with professional level sports.

I just think the world will be an increasingly better place to live when we readily accept the fact that we do not really know. We feel… we think… we hope… we want… we believe… but, knowing? We do not really know, even though we shout “I know that I know that I know!” Deep convictions do not necessarily equal facts. Interesting, don't you think. The things we want to fight about the most, are often the things we can prove the least.
